Chapter 74 Buy a watch, buy a watch... a watch!

 Abayun, Penguin and the three Huawei families, as if they had agreed, all arrived at Xihai University in the afternoon of the next day.

The first person to arrive was Zhu Zhen, manager of Penguin’s technical department.

Zhu Zhen did not come alone. He also brought two algorithm experts from the technology department. When he arrived, he called Wang Hao. Wang Hao invited them to the teaching and research office and asked Li Ming from the science and technology department to help them receive them.

The school's Science and Technology Department is responsible for research and development, projects, corporate cooperation and other matters, and helps receive corporate representatives, which can be regarded as a work counterpart.

Then, Huawei representatives came.

Huawei's representative is also the manager of the technology department, his name is Xu Jingwen, and he also brings with him an algorithm expert Zheng Zhiguo. Zheng Zhiguo is somewhat famous in the industry and has been invited to give lectures at prestigious foreign universities. He also has a certain degree of personal influence.

After the Huawei representatives arrived, the teaching and research office was relatively small, so Li Ming suggested going to the conference room on the second floor of the Academic Affairs Building.

In the conference room, representatives from Penguin, Huawei, and several people from the school all looked at Wang Hao seriously.

Luo Dayong and Zhu Ping were sitting next to Wang Hao, one on the left and one on the right, like personal bodyguards.

Zheng Zhiguo asked about the algorithm of the Rubik's Cube Cracker, and Zhu Zhen also asked if he intended to sell the source code.

Wang Hao didn't speak for a long time.

The cell phone rang.

He picked up the phone and answered a few words, then put it down and said, "Abayun's people are here too, let's talk together when they arrive."

I see!

Zhu Zhen and Xu Jingwen looked at each other and felt that the matter was a bit tricky. It would be okay if the two companies discussed it, but the competition among three companies would be too fierce.

Penguin and Aba Yun have never dealt with each other.

As the two largest Internet companies in China, competition has covered every corner of the Internet. It is almost impossible for Penguin and Abayun to work together.

The representative of Aba Yunlai was an acquaintance, Feng Youlai. He did not come alone, but also brought two algorithm experts with him.

Feng Youlai greeted Wang Hao a few times and nodded to Zhu Zhen and Xu Jingwen.

Although they are in different companies and work in different cities, the domestic top industry circle is not large. They are all director-level figures in the corporate technology department, and they have met and known each other.

At this time, Wang Hao finally spoke, and he said seriously, "I know the purpose of everyone's visit. They are interested in the algorithm contained in the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker', right?"

"Manager Zhu should know best. This is my latest algorithm result, and it is a brand-new algorithm."

Zhu Zhen nodded lightly.

Wang Haodao said, "I have been working on this project for more than a month. Penguin Company has funded the project. Although we have agreed in advance and it does not involve the ownership of any results, if we want to sell the results, we will definitely give priority.

Choose Penguin.”

Zhu Zhen was immediately happy after hearing this.

Representatives from the other two parties listened silently, their expressions were very calm. It was difficult to judge the outcome of anything until the end. What's more, they still don't know what the algorithm contained in the Rubik's Cube cracker is.

How high is the value?

Wang Hao continued, "However, this is not a commodity, and the algorithm results are not patented."

Zhu Zhen was stunned.

Wang Hao stood up and walked to the blackboard, picked up a piece of chalk and said, "I am not a businessman, and I will not deliberately increase the value of my achievements to extract profits. Now, I will tell you what my latest achievements are.

.”

People in the conference room suddenly became serious.

"Effective and irrelevant carry algorithm." Wang Hao wrote a few big words on the blackboard. "This is the name of the algorithm. It can be simply understood as chaos screening and elimination. Its main function is to eliminate the elements in the system and make the whole system more chaotic.

A step of."

"It is screening, mathematical analysis, and confusion elimination through calculation."

"For example, when making the next judgment on a Rubik's Cube, you can calculate and determine whether it will make the Rubik's Cube state more chaotic, that is, further away from restoring the initial state."

"That's what algorithms are for."

"The key to achieving this goal obviously lies in the analysis and control of the entire system, and for chaotic calculation methods, what supports the calculation is the mathematical structure of the entire system."

Wang Hao said seriously, "The algorithm is completed on the basis of mathematical architecture. It is difficult to understand the underlying architecture. After I completed the research, it only took a long time to sort out the core architecture and complete the core algorithm for cracking the Rubik's Cube.

It took nearly three days.”

This sentence is a bit of a big twist.

Several people in the conference room couldn't help but twitch. It took three days to complete the core code... Is it very complicated?

Wang Hao did feel that it was very complicated. He had completed relevant research alone, and the purpose of the research was to crack the Rubik's Cube. It took a lot of three days to complete the core content with a simple algorithm.

He talked about mathematical structure issues.

This is not to explain all the algorithm architecture, but to emphasize the complexity of the underlying architecture.

After Datong's introduction, he concluded, "So, this is not a simple algorithm, like multiplication, which can be applied as long as the method is given. On the contrary, this is a complex architecture.

It just provides an idea for a solution. If you want to apply it, you need a certain level of mathematical support and a deep understanding of the architecture."

Everyone in the conference room understood.

The effective and irrelevant carry algorithm is different from other algorithms and is just a way of solving problems.

For example, if someone wants to go to the capital, other algorithms will directly say 'take XXX bus' or 'take XXX train at XX station'.

This algorithm only explains the direction of the capital. As for whether to walk or take a bus, you need to think about it yourself.

If you can understand the algorithm thoroughly, just like an adult, you can find various ways to 'reach the capital'. If you were an ignorant child, you would be at a loss.

Even so, it's quite remarkable.

Because the 'valid and irrelevant carry algorithm' can solve problems that cannot be solved originally, evaluating the entire system and calculating the chaos screening decision can be said to be of great significance in various fields, and the application prospects will definitely be very broad.

After Wang Hao finished explaining, he returned to his seat and continued, "I just explained the new algorithm. Everyone should understand it. First of all, the algorithm results will definitely be made public. This kind of method will not be used as long as it is applied.

Probably completely confidential."

Everyone else nodded.

It is definitely impossible to keep an algorithm secret. As long as it is applied, other people will come into contact with it. Naturally, it cannot be completely kept secret. On the other hand, there is no point in not applying it.

Wang Hao continued, "Once the algorithm is made public, the whole world will know it. It is only a matter of time before you can apply the algorithm and create a code similar to the function of a 'Rubik's Cube Cracker'."

"But I think the source code of the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' is still very valuable, and its value lies in time."

"As I said just now, it is not easy to understand the new algorithm. It was originally designed to crack the Rubik's Cube. The source code of the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' can be said to be the best reference example."

"Last night, I thought about it carefully, and it's hard to evaluate the value of the source code. You are all big domestic companies. Selling to any party alone will not be good for the other two parties. If you are interested in buying, I want to know what's inside.

The core algorithm content is like this."

Wang Hao gestured with two fingers, "Two million, two million for each family, and I can share the source code with you."

As soon as the price was spoken, the hearts of Zhu Ping, Luo Dayong, Li Ming and others trembled.

Two million for a family? Six million in total?

For an algorithm that will definitely be made public in the future, asking for 6 million for the application code is too outrageous!

Wang Hao hadn't finished speaking, "But I have a premise. After you get the source code, you can't use it to create programs related to the Rubik's Cube." He said with a smile, "The Rubik's Cube cracker we made together is also

I hope more users can order it.”

Zhu Zhen, Feng Youlai, and Xu Jingwen nodded together. They didn't care about the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker', a small tool software that would never make much money.

They were still thinking about the 'two million' they just said, and looked at each other with understanding -

Conscientious price!

For large Internet companies, time is more valuable than money.

Wang Hao is a truly top algorithm expert, and he should not overexaggerate professional issues when negotiating with companies. He said that the underlying architecture is difficult to understand and the difficulty will definitely be very high.

If you gather a lot of top mathematics and algorithm experts and slowly conduct research and then apply them, the labor cost will be high in terms of salary alone. If you have source code as a reference, you can greatly shorten the time and labor costs.

Two million does sound like a lot, but compared to the time cost, it is nothing at all.

A new algorithm that greatly reduces computational costs is supported and put into use, and it may bring huge economic benefits one day earlier.

The three of them nodded together.

"we agree!"

"Huawei has no problem either."

"We agree too!"

They nodded in agreement with a tacit understanding, making everyone else present marvel at the arrogance of a large company.

Six million!

Is this profitable?

Wang Hao didn't feel any surprise. A company offered two million for nothing. They invited themselves to give a lecture, and they just threw away hundreds of thousands. For large Internet companies, the time cost is very high.

If you apply the new algorithm one day earlier, you can easily make more money.

However, there is no way to ask for a higher price.

It's OK to speak, but it's not necessary.

The price of two million for each company is within an acceptable range, because it is not a 'monopoly purchase', and rival companies can also obtain the same source code, which is equivalent to paying together and making progress together.



Aba Yun, the representatives of Huawei, left two million grandly and walked away lightly with the source code.

Zhu Zhen is still here.

The purpose of his visit was not only to purchase the source code, but also to discuss other things. After the representatives from the other two parties left, he went to the teaching and research office with Wang Hao and talked about the project issues.

To put it simply, Penguin wants a name.

They sponsored one million and got everything. They hoped to get a good name, so they came to talk to Wang Hao about whether they could announce the 'Cracking of God's Number'. It would also be good to get some news.

Zhu Zhen's idea is very simple, "If we can improve this algorithm by reverse reasoning, we can use a supercomputer to calculate all the most chaotic states of the Rubik's Cube in just a short time."

"Not only the third-order Rubik's Cube, but also the fourth-order Rubik's Cube can be used. We can also use this to announce that the research and development project sponsored by Xihai University has developed a new algorithm and cracked the number of God in a short time."

“This is also a publicity for the algorithm’s achievements.”

Wang Hao thought about it carefully, but he didn't have any objections. Penguin sponsored the project with a million dollars, and it was natural to publish a news release announcing the results of the sponsored project.

Next comes the ‘little things’.

Zhu Zhen mentioned that the 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' can be cooperated with Penguin Company. Because the ordering and downloading of 'Rubik's Cube Cracker' has limitations, it can only support iOS users for the time being. Cooperation with Penguin Company is different. Penguin Company can organize

The team will correct and improve the code, add a simple photo input method, and modify the interface.

The application can then be added to the mini-program of Penguin's software, and you need to pay a certain fee to use it.

This can perfectly solve the ordering problem.

Of course, by cooperating with Penguin, at least half of the money earned goes to Penguin, but there is no doubt that Penguin can help greatly expand the user base.

Even if a user can only earn one yuan, if the user scale is expanded a hundred times, he can earn more than ten times more money.

In addition, on the application software that Penguin cooperates with, you can also add advertisements, which will generate additional advertising revenue.

Wang Hao thought about it carefully and found that there was no reason to refuse at all, so he discussed the order price, sharing and other issues with Zhu Zhen. In the end, he could only agree with tears. He felt like he was PUAed by the hateful capitalist, but he had to admit it.

, Penguin is really good at doing business, and similar semi-acquisition cooperation brings too many benefits.



After negotiating a big deal of 6 million in one breath, Wang Hao felt that his whole body was wrapped in the smell of copper.

When I returned to the office, I felt a little light when walking. Luo Dayong and Zhu Ping felt the same way. Others who knew the news could only feel envious and jealous.

After Zhu Ping came back, she kept checking her phone, staring at the screen without moving, and then showed a distressed look.

Zhang Zhiqiang passed by and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Are you still worried? Didn't you say you guys have a big business deal?"

"It's because of this trouble that I've always wanted to buy a bag, but I've never been willing to do so before. Shouldn't I take a look? But I think another bag is better. Please help me take a look..."

Zhu Ping turned the phone screen around.

Zhang Zhiqiang glanced at the selling price on it and saw a series of five numbers. He shook his head sourly, "I don't understand, and I can't understand."

When he returned to his seat, as soon as he sat down, he noticed that Luo Dayong was also staring at his mobile phone, pretending to be a thinker. He suddenly asked out of curiosity, "You check your mobile phone too?"

Luo Dayong usually doesn't look at his mobile phone. In the office, he almost only looks at the computer, or looks out the window and thinks about life.

Luo Dayong raised his head and said, "I've always wanted to buy a watch. I'm not planning to buy one just after I made money."

Zhang Zhiqiang was so angry that he almost vomited blood and cursed secretly, "Buy a watch, buy a watch... watch!"

Six million!

Although Luo Dayong and Zhu Ping could only get 10%, each of them also received 300,000 yuan. The key is to continue to show off here and buy things when they buy things. Why do they have to say it out?

It must be intentional!

Zhang Zhiqiang took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality to read the code patiently. However, he was so agitated that he couldn't read it at all. Later, he just browsed the web page to pass the time. Suddenly he noticed an email prompt. When he opened it, he saw that it was next month.

It was sent from the Zhucheng International Computer Conference being held. His application to participate in the conference has been approved.

Suddenly, the confidence came back.

He glanced left and right and said to Wang Hao, who was immersed in writing a paper, "Wang Hao, do you know about the International Computer Conference to be held in Yuezhu City next month?"

After hearing this, Wang Hao thought for a moment, opened his mailbox and found an invitation letter. He pointed at the screen and asked, "Brother Zhang, is this what you are talking about? I received it a few days ago and didn't care."

Zhang Zhiqiang glanced over and found that it was an invitation letter from the conference, inviting Wang Hao to attend the conference as an expert and participate in the review work of the conference. At the same time, he was also invited to report on his academic work at the conference.

When he looked at the letters he received, they were just letters that approved his application to participate.

Suddenly, my confidence was gone.

Autistic.

He said sadly, "It just so happens that I'm going to attend too, so let's go together then..."
